Deliveries & Returns

Delivery:

Delivery will normally take place within the timescales estimated on the order acknowledgement (and in any case within 60 days), however this is only an estimate and time shall not be the essence of any order. Delivery time will be expressed through e-mail or phone.

All flooring orders will be completed by the customer’s local United Carpets And Beds store who will be in touch shortly after the order has been confirmed to arrange for collection/delivery/fitting, as required.

United Carpets And Beds operates a fast paced transit warehouse and is therefore unable to hold goods for Buyers. Delivery must be arranged within 5 days of the goods arriving at our distribution warehouse. United Carpets And Beds retains the right to charge storage at £5 per week for Goods that are not delivered within two weeks of receipt into our warehouse (Maximum £50 per order).

United Carpets And Beds standard delivery charge for online bed purchases is £30 and for online flooring purchases is £15. Where the Goods cannot be delivered on the day arranged due to the fault of the buyer, United Carpets And Beds retains the right to charge a further £30 for "re-delivery" to cover costs incurred. This charge will be taken from the debit/credit card used to purchase the Goods.

If United Carpets And Beds has failed to deliver the Goods within 30 days of the order date due to its own neglect (on either stock or special items) then the Buyer may either cancel the contract without penalty or United Carpets And Beds will pay £5 for each complete week any item (over £250) is further delayed (Maximum payable £50 per order).

Delivery will be deemed to have taken place when the Goods have been delivered to the agreed address (United Carpets And Beds do not need to satisfy themselves that the person accepting delivery at the agreed address is authorised by the Buyer to accept the Goods)
